    which poe switch new setup

    That's the same one I have. I forgot to include the link in my post above. I too recommend it.

    which poe switch new setup

    The NIC's on my cameras are only 10/100 so I went with this one. Note the 120W load it can service. I just used a $12 (on sale @ monoprice) Gig switch in front of it to allow gig ethernet to the rest of my infrastructure where I installed the PoE switch. This switch is doing a fine job for me...

    Email Settings

    I got my gmail to work fine but I don't want to use my gmail account to send emails from my cameras. I set up a separate account through charter/spectrum to do this task and followed their settings here for the smtp outgoing server using both the server and port numbers for desktop and mobile...

    trigger by object crossing zones A>B problem

    Yeah. I figured that out after I posted.

    trigger by object crossing zones A>B problem

    Oh, wait, you want a motion alert only on the days a delivery is scheduled. I'm sure there's a way using macros in BI but incorporating that is beyond my skills.

    trigger by object crossing zones A>B problem

    Just have them record 24 hours a day and then delete the recordings after a couple of days. If something happens that you need to know about you can flag the recording or even go in and move it to another folder so it doesn't get wiped.

    trigger by object crossing zones A>B problem

    Learn something new every day. So if someone were to jump over the hedge between the column and the camera it would trigger but since the column never lets the camera actually see the crossing if it occurs on the walk it won't trigger. I suggest possibly moving the zone to be a little bit beyond...

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    That makes perfect sense. What I am now doing is just having it send an email alert and not the SMS alert at night. I want sleep over constant notifications of motion in the yard. I can then review it later and if something comes up I can look at the recordings. I have it on 24 hour recording now.

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    Will zone crossing eliminate motion that originates in Zone A (my yard)? I'm thinking that if the motion starts in the yard, which is an unlikely scenario unless it is us coming out of the house or garage, then the cameras will not trigger. I'm going with a 24 hour by 3 day video loop right...

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    Here's a snapshot of what is triggering motion. I get quite a few of these false positives at night.

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    That is pretty tolerable as it only happens maybe every few hours. It is at night when headlights are shining into Zone A that it goes nuts with the notifications. I'm not sure how to clear that up or maybe it is just a limitation of the technology? Am I trying to fix something that I cannot...

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    This is something I'm dealing with now but I have effectively filtered out the cars on the street.. Suggestions?

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    RE-READ then RE-READ again, I suppose I'll pay more attention to that section this time. Thank you for bearing with me as I'm still getting the hang of this.. (BTW, Maybe this topic should be in the troubleshooting section of the forum?)

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    The 400 pixels is only at night to try to make it so car headlights, which cover a lot of the image, don't trigger motion. Everything else I agree with but when the wind blows it is picking up the shadows of trees and triggering motion. I know this is supposed to be for shadows of objects in...

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    That's an old screen grab that I just reposted real quick to show Zone A. I have deleted the hotspot zone now. As far as Alt/Timelapse goes.. IDK why it is checked. I will un-check it and report back.

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    The hotspot zone has been removed too. I only have Zone A.

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    Not sure why those loaded up so many times but the ones with less sensitivity are for at night because headlights shining across the front yard and on the bushes trigger motion when not desired and I was trying to limit that. The other thing is that I only have Zone A. I deleted Zones B and C...

    Okay. I'll need to remote in on my laptop to get em. Which are most important? TIA

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    Yes. I did do that. It doesn't block it out like that anymore. I have also run a few through it and I see the little red and green (sometimes not so little) on the screen where it is detecting motion. Sometimes these are outside the zone that I am focusing on (Zone A, inside the walk) yet still...

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    I'm not sure what is going on. I either don't get any notifications or I get notifications for every single thing happening in the street. Zone A is for the yard only and I removed the HotSpot zone and all other zones. I have it set to pick up motion in Zone A only but not in the street. Cars...

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    The motion being picked up outside of zone A, in the street. Getting notifications for this is excessive. I'm just going to keep on tuning the sensitivity. I'm getting it a bit better but still have a way to go.

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    @fenderman @nayr I have read through the help pages in the Blue Iris Program but am still trying to dial these things in. I either don't get detection at all or I get a trigger every 5 minutes or so when a car drives by. I've tried making it so that the street is Zone B and the yard is Zone A...

    (16) 3MP Camera System

    Interesting discussion. I can see both points. I'm all about the best cost effective solution. In a lot of cases i7's are overkill, IMHO. As far as TDP goes, I don't think we're talking about power efficiency here but rather about heat tolerance so an older system may use more power and generate...

    My Z-Wave Doorbell Project w/ pics

    Yeah. I see what you did. The relay triggers the z-wave sensor from the doorbell push. Pretty basic set up. I'll probably add that into the circuit from the Ring Doorbell to the bell itself to trigger the Vera to do like you're doing. Nice idea. BTW, are you on the MiCasaVerde Forums too?

    Wifi Doorbell

    In a two story home such as mine, getting ethernet to my existing doorbell area is problematic at least. I looked at the GBF on amazon a while ago but got the ring to get my wife off my back about it. "It is all I want," she says; further saying, "You are making a big project out of this." Of...

    My Z-Wave Doorbell Project w/ pics

    I have a Vera Plus. How's this working out for you? Do you have two-way communication? How do you pick up video feed? Is there a wiring diagram for this? I know, lots of questions but this old post leaves me with more questions than solutions. Thanks..

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    Maybe it wasn't windy yesterday but I'm getting these false positives today. I think I need to bump up the pixel size for detected motion but am not sure.. TIA

    Motion Sensor Set Up?

    So I was specifically following these instructions in the help pages. Is there something else I should do like define the street as another zone and then trigger when crossing zones? Does doing this end up precluding motion originating within a particular zone, IE: Motion originating in Zone A...
